Complete Shading System
New York — The EcoVeil shadecloth is made from a new material — a thermoplastic olefin (TPO) based yarn. It looks, feels and performs similarly to the vinyl coated polyester yarns that MechoShade has produced for 35 years, the company reports. EcoVeil is washable, UV resistant and flame retardant. It is antimicrobial and, thus, resists staph and mildew growths. In the future, the customers of MechoShade Systems can return their EcoVeil shadebands for recycling into new EcoVeil shadecloth or into other thermoplastic olefin (TPO) based products. EcoVeil is a Cradle to Cradle-certified product.
